Question
Greetings maam! This is my first time ever asking a question online so I hope I'm as clear as possible. I am pretty normal in my cycles coming on every 27-28 days. For the last three months I have been using a natural form of progestrone to do away with cysts and unwanted hair growth. During my time with the natural supplement I have continued getting my cycles on time with no interruptions.

Last month, on Nov 23 I had sex and started my cycle the same night. ejaculation did occur. This was a normal cycle as well.also, on the same night that all of this occurred I started birth control pills but discontinued use after a week or so. It is now dec 25 and I still have not started my cycle. I was due to start on Dec 20.

I have taken 4 home test all with negative results. Could I be pregnant or is this result of the of the discontinued use of the pill? I hope I can get an answer soon for I'm worried that I am pregnant! I have also had sore breasts as well as nausea but have that from time to time during cycle time. Please help and thanks for your time.

Michelle

Answer
Hello Michelle,

I just received your question so I'm wondering if anything further has developed since you posted this question to me.

In my opinion, the hormones in the birth control pills could affect your health and your cycle.
I'm glad you stopped the birth control pills as I feel that they are not good for your health.
If you are pregnant, will this be a problem with you? Let me know. You can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more.
